It's hard to have an organized space without enough light, and closets are often a place where lighting is a problem. My first thought when seeing a dark closet involves either adding light fixtures with the help of an electrician, or using the battery-powered lights that are widely available. (Here's just one, and here's another.) If you want to add a wired light fixture, there are many possible designs; Rejuvenation has some suggestions.
But a few months ago, Closets magazine had an article on closet lighting which introduced me to an interesting specialty product. Hettich makes a battery-operated illuminated garment/coat rail that uses LED technology.
Another option for a dark closet could be a solar tube; this one comes from Solatube.

That illuminated garment rail is very cool!
Jeri, if a small award is of interest to you, please stop by
Struggling to be Stylish to collect it.
Thanks for all the great organizing ideas.
I wish I had that closet in the bottom photo!
Struggler, thank you for the award. I'll write my own entry shortly.
Heather, that closet is lovely. It wouldn't work for me, though; it has way more shoe cubbies than I have shoes.
I always find good ideas in your blog, thank you! I have a new jewelry organizer in mine. He does great work, just not much of it. Stop by.
Doing It Herself, I love your jewelry organizer. Talk about repurposing an item!
